It is noted that they have become “insatiable buyers” of Russian diesel fuel and other refined products, while increasing their exports to Europe.”This has raised concerns about the mixing and re-export of products from Russia, which means that efforts by Western countries to exclude Russian fuel from their economy are futile,” the newspaper wrote.Thus, in the first month of this year, Morocco purchased 2 million barrels of diesel fuel, while in the whole of 2021 the country imported around 600,000 barrels. Tunisia bought 2.8 million barrels of petroleum products from Russia in January, including gasoline, naphtha, diesel and gas oil, while it had hardly ever bought Russian petroleum products before. Demand has also increased in Egypt, Libya and Algeria.
